<p>
        A dynamic buffer encapsulates memory storage that may be automatically resized
        as required, where the memory is divided into an input sequence followed
        by an output sequence. These memory regions are internal to the dynamic buffer
        sequence, but direct access to the elements is provided to permit them to
        be efficiently used with I/O operations, such as the <code class="computeroutput">send</code> or
        <code class="computeroutput">receive</code> operations of a socket. Data written to the output sequence
        of a dynamic buffer sequence object is appended to the input sequence of
        the same object.
      </p>
<p>
        A dynamic buffer type <code class="computeroutput">X</code> shall satisfy the requirements of <code class="computeroutput">MoveConstructible</code>
        (C++ Std, [moveconstructible]) types in addition to those listed below.
      </p>
<p>
        In the table below, <code class="computeroutput">X</code> denotes a dynamic buffer class, <code class="computeroutput">x</code>
        denotes a value of type <code class="computeroutput">X&amp;</code>, <code class="computeroutput">x1</code> denotes values
        of type <code class="computeroutput">const X&amp;</code>, and <code class="computeroutput">n</code> denotes a value of
        type <code class="computeroutput">size_t</code>, and <code class="computeroutput">u</code> denotes an identifier.
